As good as it gets

As far as I am concerned, this it the best place for empanadas in Barcelona.
This football-themed corner store offers superb empanadas, that can easily make your mouth water. I have eaten there many times in many years and I have never been disappointed. The prices have gone up, but it's still an affordable treat with good value for money. Sit at the nearby Plaça d’en Joanic and enjoy your heated empanadas!
Noteworthy detail: each empanada has a stamped in abbreviation on it indicating the filling.

Would have given 5

€2.50 each. Great for food on the go. I travelled as the only vegan in a group of 6 and this was possibly the nicest thing I ate on the entire trip (maybe due to not trying exclusively veg/vegan places) Artichoke was my fave with spinach not far behind. Clearly labelled. Staff lovely. Highly recommend.

Don’t mind the gruff service

The empanadas - always about 4 vegan options (jalapeño is my favorite) - are delish and they never make it back home in one piece. Insider tip: buy a beer for 60 cents (!) at the corner liquor place and eat the empanadas with beer in the Plaza Joanic.

Pros: Yummy, Cheap

Cons: Gruff service but not really unfriendly

Great empanadas

I was gladly surprised by the food of this place, as from the outside it doesn't look very promising... They have 4 vegan empanadas, everything homemade. They are heavily vegetable-based but they are good and quite cheap!
When I went there they had artichoke, hummus, humita and spicy vegetable flavors.

Pros: Cheap, Four vegan empanada flavors

Cons: No sitting area

Empanadas sin más

Esta bueno pero sin más. Solo he probado las empanadas veganas y me gustaría que les pongan tanto cariño a las empanadas veganas que a las "normales".

Very tasty. Ask not to heat, you can have them later.

Best vegan empanada I have tried

This is absolutely a must if you like empanadas. I tried the one with hummus and the one with spinach and both were extremely good.

Not bad

I LOVE that they have quite a few vegan options to choose from. However, the ones I have tried, which have been about 4 so far, are a bit too salty and lacking on authentic taste of the veggies and other ingredients. Still quite nice to pass there when you’re hungry just to get a quick bite.

Pros: Vegan options clearly labeled and separated

Cons: Expensive per piece , A bit too salty for my taste

Amazing empanadas

Loads of different flavours of empanada and about five vegan options too - all delicious served hot or cold and a brilliant snack to have on the go.

Opció ràpida

Tenen sempre 3-4 tipus d'empanades veganes. Estan bones però podrien tenir més varietat!!

Could be better

Great idea and price, however I found they were bland and when I asked for them to be heated up they were still cold in the middle.

However enjoyable if you’re in the mood for something carby and quick, I would still go again as I really liked the artichoke one. I wish the hummus one had more taste to it as I love hummus so much!

bland empanadas

I was so excited to try the vegan empanadas only to discover they were bland and kind of soggy :(

Go for it

Very nice little take-away who sells empanadas, about 1/3 of them are vegan. Great taste for a fair price (1,90€ each).

Pros: Great food, nice staff, fair prices

The hand of God

Any England fan will not forget this moment from Mexico 86. When I saw the image of Maradona on the window of this place it brought back memories of being a young kid reliving his first world cup. Anyway, they have an excellent selection of vegan empanadas here (otherwise known as pasties in England). They do take the zero meat eaters seriosuly here. An excellent choice in Gracia for a quick take away snack or somewhere to relax with a coffee or beer. Diego ran rings around Peter Reid on 22 June 1986. 30 years later, we have vegan empanadas. Check this place out, a great find and worth its place on Happy Cow.

Pros: separate vegan section, nice seating inside, friendly staff

Cons: some meat items
